Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the reaction between (2S,3S)-3,5-dimethylhexan-2-ol and PCl3. Note the specific instructions
for each box. Include nonzero formal charges and lone pairs of electrons on all appropriate atoms. Then answer the question about the mechanism.
1 answer:
Answer:
(2R,3S)-2-chloro-3,5-dimethylhexane
Explanation:
As first step we have the <u>attack of the OH group</u> to the P atom in the PCl3 and one of the Cl atoms would leave. Then we will have a <u>rearrangement</u> to produce a <u>double bond </u>with the oyxgen on the OH. Finally the Cl produced will a<u>ttack the carbon</u> in a <u>Sn2 substitution reaction</u> to produce the halide with an <u>opposite configuration</u>.

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
Explanation:
Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.
Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.
In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .
Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X
4X= 28
X = 7
Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y
2X- Y = 10
2(7) - Y= 10
14-10 = Y
Y= 4
Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
